I'm going to stick to my original points that I've already discussed ina number of earlier threads. SMP is needed for this patch to reallywork. What was not understood by folks, still isn't, is that thefunctionality of this system is more extensive than a simple dual kernelset up. This is not a personality or communication skills issue. It'sfolks not understand the patch out of ignorance and irrational fear, howit really works, and what advantages it gives over dual kernels.

A lot of it is just flat out ignorance about RTOS in the Linux community.They confuse theoretical and practical issues and assume that they areright when they don't write RT apps, don't understand the patch or thedirection it's going.

This material has been covered over and over again in previous threads,but a disconnected, persistent and hysterical group still FUDs this patchcontinuously, which is why I'm losing patience with this. If you're comingin middle of this story it can certainly seem that way, but the reverse istrue. If I have to insult folks as a preventative for negative rumors aboutthis patch, then so be it.

No negative comments were directed at Ingo of any sort. The nature of RTOSchanges as hardware advances. That's all I'm saying.
